Winehouse late for the Ivor Novello’s

Having locked herself in a hotel room for 40 minutes before being lured out by pals, Amy Winehouse was late for last night’s Ivor Novello awards, and missed picking up an award, which had to be collected by her dad.

After bursting in half way through she hugged her mum and dad, and in a message to her fans concerning her health, she said, “I’m alright.” Her mum Janis said, “ She will get over all of this.”

Patricia Field’s M&S fashion range

Patricia Field, none other than the lady behind the Sex and the City wardrobe, has been hired to create a collection for high-street store M&S. Field, who has also worked on Ugly Betty and The Devil Wears Prada.

She’s also donned some rather interesting outfits of herself on the red carpet – particularly a red horn and pink cloak combo, which made the designer look a little more dressing-up, rather than dressed up. Let’s hope that’s not the next look for all those mums and grandmas out there after her range hits M&S stores.

In other news…

* More than 400 nine year olds around Newport took part in a recent study, and the results – one is five kids can’t use forks. Kids are apparently losing the ability to use knives and forks as they eat with their fingers in front of the TV.
* Oprah has challenged herself to eat a vegan diet for 21 days in order to achieve “spiritual integrity” by acknowledging “the animals whose lives are sacrificed in the name of gluttony.” How very American.
